Psalms 140
1 To the leader. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, Lord, from evil people; from the violent guard me
Izbavi me, Gospode, od èovjeka zloga, saèuvaj me od nasilnika,
2 from those who plot evil in their heart, and stir up war continually:
Koji pomišljaju zlo u srcu i svaki dan podižu rat;
3 who make their tongue as sharp as a serpent’s, and under whose lips is the poison of adders. (Selah)
Oštre jezik svoj kao zmija, jed je aspidin u ustima njihovijem.
4 Preserve me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked, from the violent guard me from those who are plotting to trip up my feet.
Saèuvaj me, Bože, od ruku bezbožnièkih, od nasilnika sahrani me, koji misle da potkinu noge moje.
5 The proud have hidden a trap for me, cords they have spread as a net for my feet: snares they have set at the side of my track. (Selah)
Oholi mi namjestiše zamke i prugla, metnuše mi mrežu na put, preðu razapeše mi.
6 I have said to the Lord, ‘My God are you; attend, Lord, to my loud plea.
Rekoh Gospodu: ti si Bog moj, usliši, Gospode, glas moljenja mojega.
7 O Lord my Lord, my saviour mighty, you did cover my head in the day of battle.
Gospode, Gospode, krjepki spasitelju moj, zakloni glavu moju u dan ratni!
8 Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; and what they have purposed, promote you not.’ (Selah)
Ne daj, Gospode, bezbožniku što želi, ne daj mu da dokuèi što je naumio, da se ne uznose.
9 Let them not lift up their heads against me. May the mischief they prate bring themselves to destruction,
Otrov onijeh što su oko mene, pogibao usta njihovijeh neka se obrati na njih.
10 may he rain upon them coals of fire, may he strike them down swiftly, to rise no more,
Neka padne na njih živo ugljevlje; neka ih on baci u oganj, u propasti, da ne ustanu.
11 no place in the land may there be for the slanderer: may the violent be hunted from sorrow to sorrow.
Èovjek jezièan neæe se utvrditi na zemlji, nepravednoga æe zloæa uvaliti u pogibao.
12 I know that the Lord will do right by the weak, and will execute justice for those who are needy.
Znam da æe Gospod pokazati pravdu nevoljnome i pravicu ubogima.
13 Surely the righteous shall praise your name, and they who are upright shall live in your presence.
Da! pravedni æe slaviti ime tvoje, pravi æe ostati pred licem tvojim.
